Washington State University Vancouver professor and Democrat Carolyn Long was at Clark College on Monday evening, announcing her second bid for the 3rd Congressional District seat held by Rep. Jaime Herrera Beutler, R-Battle Ground.
Long made her announcement in front of about 400 supporters at the rally at Clark College. Earlier in the day, she spoke in Centralia and Longview.
In 2018, Long — a political newcomer — posed the first real challenge to the incumbent since Herrera Beutler was first elected in 2010. Herrera Beutler had never won less than 60 percent of the vote in a general election. Long came away with 47.3 percent to Herrera Beutler’s 52.7 percent.
